AMUSEME-N T DEVICE.

To all 107mm t may concern.'

Be it known'that I, EVA N. HENNEGAN, a citizen of the United States, andresident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State ofOhio,-have invented certain new and useful Improvements in AmusementDevices, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to amusement de vices, and particularly to anapparatus or game for the foretelling of future events.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide kgameapparatus for the forecasting of future events, the operation of whichwill contribute to the amusement of one or more individuals.

Further objects of the present invention will appear from the followingdescription thereof.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention;

Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2 of Fig. l;

Fig. 3 is a plan view ofthe base or fixed member of the device;

Fig. 4 is a perspective of a portion of the device.

The numeral l indicates the base or fixed member of apparatusconstructed in accordance with this invention. 'Ihe same is constructedeither of heavy cardboard, wood or other suitable material, and ispreferably circular in outline. The member l has a circular upwardlyextending flange 2. Rotatably mounted on a pivot 3 in the member l isthe movable or active member 4 of the device. The member 4 isconstructed of material similar to that of the member l, and is of suchthickness that when mounted the surface thereof will be flush with theflange 2 of the member 1. The'member l is provided just inside theflange 2 with a series of circles 5 within each of which is a numeral asshown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Along the flange 2 opposite the circles5 are points 6 arranged to indicate the respective circles 5.

The surface of the member 4 is divided by an ornamental design printedthereon into a plurality of divisions 7, each of which discloses adifferent color; in the exemplification of the invention illustrated inthe drawings, six of such divisions are shown, having the followingcolors: blue, yellow, green, red, orange and brown. Each of the divi-Specfcation of Letters Patent.

sions is provided with spaces 8 having numerals corresponding tonumerals in the circles 5 on the member l. Each of the spaces 8 isfurther provided with' suitably printed matter for the foretelling ofsomefuture event. The numerals in the several divisions are duplicatesof each other, but the related reading matter is different in theseveral divisions. The circles 5 on the member l are printed in colorscorresponding to the colors of the divisions 7, but the colors in thecircles 5 are irregularly distributed throughout the several circles.

When the members l and 4 are assembled as shown in Figs. l, 2, and 4,the circles 5 on the member l are covered by the member 4. The member 4is provided with an open- .ing 9 of size corresponding to the circles 5,

and positioned on the member 4 so as to be adapted to rest over eitherof the circles. Mounted on the member 4 over the opening 9 is a plate 10having an indicating point 11. The plate is hinged or folded as shown at12 so that it may be turned back to uncover the opening.

The operation of the device is as follows: The player gives the member 4a turn so that the same rotates on the pivot 3. The member is permittedto rotate until it comes to a rest with the point 1l opposite one of theindicia 6. When in suchaposition the opening 9 will rest over one of thecircles 5. The point 1l is then raised to disclose the numeral as wellas the color of the circle 5 under the opening. This having beenascertained, for example, as shown in Fig. 4 the disclosed numeral is 7in a red circle, the player next refers to the red division on themember 4 and the space 7 thereon, and the reading matter within saidspace is, according to the rules, supposed to indicate some future eventin his life. As will be understood any number of players may participatein the game, and the simulated predictions are of such a nature as tocontribute to the amusement of the players.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. An amusement device comprising a. base member, indicia arranged in acircle on said base member, each indicium being associated with one of aplurality of colors, a rotatable member mounted on said base member,said rotatable member being provided on its face With divisions each ofwhich is colored to correspond with one of" the colors of said indicia,spaces in each of said divisions, each of the spaces being provided Withan indicium corresponding toA tatable member mounted onv saidbasemeiii-l ber, saidrotatable member beingarranged trol cover saidindicia, and being provided on its face with divisions each ol 'Which iscolored to correspond with one of the colors of' said indicia, spacesin. each of said divi, sions, each of thespaces being provided With anindicium corresponding tocertain indicia on the base member and beingalso provided With printed matter, a pointer on the rotatable member forindicating an indicium on the base member, and an opening in saidrotatable member through which the indicium may be read.
